Having a very good GPA with many difficult courses suggests that you have a good chance. The fact that you are on the Russian IMO coaching staff and wrote a paper will boost your chances tremendously. I'm sure admissions committees will overlook the relatively weak GRE Math and Verbal scores. Of course, I am not at all able to give you a good estimate of how you'll do since I am applying myself.
